写得太好了!逻辑非常清晰:欧亚大陆的居民因优厚的自然环境而率先发明了农业,进而有富余的食物提供给不从事农业生产的专业人士,如工匠、士兵和官僚,还在与家畜的接触中拥有了对诸多病菌的免疫力,最终让欧亚大陆在面对美洲、大洋洲和撒哈拉以南的非洲的原住民时无往不利,让从欧亚大陆发源的文明与其后裔成为了当今世界的主宰。所谓老天爷赏饭吃,就是如此了。#推荐给所有地理爱好者
评分对人类历史的理解又多了一个维度
评分4.5
评分终于看完了一遍,然后,然后,觉得得快点看第二遍,然后做笔记。这样的历史书才是我喜欢的,不是事实的堆砌,更多是背后的逻辑,所谓的历史科学。呀,我又想起了基地的心理史学^_^
评分An overrated history book with plenty of factual mistakes and logical fallacies

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, "Guns, Germs, and Steel" is a brilliant work answering the question of why the peoples of certain continents succeeded in invading other continents and conquering or displacing their peoples. This edition includes a new chapter on Japan and all-new illustrations drawn from the television series. Until around 11,000 BC, all peoples were still Stone Age hunter/gatherers. At that point, a great divide occurred in the rates that human societies evolved. In Eurasia, parts of the Americas, and Africa, farming became the prevailing mode of existence when indigenous wild plants and animals were domesticated by prehistoric planters and herders. As Jared Diamond vividly reveals, the very people who gained a head start in producing food would collide with preliterate cultures, shaping the modern world through conquest, displacement, and genocide.The paths that lead from scattered centers of food to broad bands of settlement had a great deal to do with climate and geography. But how did differences in societies arise? Why weren't native Australians, Americans, or Africans the ones to colonize Europe? Diamond dismantles pernicious racial theories tracing societal differences to biological differences. He assembles convincing evidence linking germs to domestication of animals, germs that Eurasians then spread in epidemic proportions in their voyages of discovery. In its sweep, "Guns, Germs and Steel" encompasses the rise of agriculture, technology, writing, government, and religion, providing a unifying theory of human history as intriguing as the histories of dinosaurs and glaciers.
按语:第一,这篇读书笔记基本上包括了所有非此领域的外行需要知道的内容。第二,作者的观点和我个人的评论都混在一起,由于是一篇面向大众的读物,在此我不作标注。第三,豆瓣的书评好像不能加图,也不能在文字上加链接,有点影响阅读体验。 这本书想要回答的核心问题是借作者...
评分http://headsalon.org/archives/1530.html 不知何故,对Jared Diamond那本雄心勃勃的《枪炮、病菌与钢铁》(Guns, Germs, and Steel)一直不抱多大期望,或许是我对畅销书有些偏见吧,但这次显然错了,读过前几章,已让我惊叹:这正是多年来我所期待的那种历史研究啊。 年轻...
评分书是好书,但这本最大的问题是翻译质量太差了!!也就是获取个基本信息,完全体会不到文字的美。句子又臭又长,一看就是对着英语原句对照过来的,翻译质量太差了。怀疑就是某个老师找了几个学生一人一部分凑出来的。 --
评分0. 发现书看一半时往往更愿意写评论。常常看完了之后当初的兴奋也没了。 所以,这本砖头般厚实的书今天刚刚K完四分之一,因为兴奋莫名,所以先来说几句。要是看完了还有要讲的,再来添吧。。。 这本书已经流行了好一阵子了,可是这个书名老是让我想起那个叫“Gun & Roses” ...
